Licensing Program Analyst Connie Jones-Steward investigated the allegation that C1 and C2 engaged in sexual activity due to lack of supervision. LPA interviewed three Hillside staff members, the reporter and C1. C2 is reported to have aged out of foster care. All staff members denied seeing C1 and C2 engaged in sexual activity. One staff stated that he had heard rumors of them being caught in the act while at the Hillside School but knows nothing of anything sexual happening between C1 and C2 while in STRTP. C1 indicated that there was sexual activity that occurred while at the STRTP. She does not remember if the staff took any action to prevent it or not.

LPA did not request records on C1 and C2 since the alleged activity took place over six years prior to the complaint being made. Based on the contradictory accounts given and lack of concrete evidence, LPA resolved the allegation as unsubstantiated. Unsubstantiated means that although an allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not sufficient evidence to prove that it did happen.
